Posted byShannon CuttsPosted inPearlTags:, , , ,

“Is the pizza middle or the pizza crust the tastiest?”

The subject of intense debate (as prepared by Pearl's personal chef, the Small Tree).

Because emotions run high and conversations can get quite (um) heated, it is often best to bring in a skilled mediator to settle the debate.

When the mediator (with feathers) arrives, all other beings must first agree to defer to such a discriminating palate.

Just one final nibble for "consistency testing."
We will finish this session with the “full flavor palate test.”
And my binding verdict is: "Crust!"
And my binding verdict is: “Crust!” (Mediator’s personal notes: after all, crunch trumps all.)
